New guy here........Donuts & Coffee are on the corner table. I have a new to me 2006 XB12X and I have a slight dilemma. I have a problem with the hand controls & mirrors: The links below show what I have. Here is what I am planning to do: ¾” handlebar Riser (PN n0348.1adybp) Touratech Spoiler on Hand Protector New Aprila Tuono Mirrors (Expand rear viewing area) Keep HVMP Bar Ends Re-grip with Grand Touring USA Tacki Grips (Personal preference from my other bike) Add Vista Cruise or equal (Thumb Operator Style Throttle Lock) Heated grips controlled by a Heattroller. Yes it is kinda busy. The problem I have is this I’d like use a standard Polly Cartridge heater for a cleaner installation (wire inside) But if I do that I loose the HVMP bar ends. Which are needed due to the Carpel Tunnel issues I have. Can this be done with out sacrificing the HVMP bar ends. If not I’ll have to use a Kimpex or DualStar wraparound. Or is there a 3rd solution I’m missing (shorter Hot Grips) Feel free to discuss. Thx in Advance http://augiedogie.smugmug.com/photos/151932017-L.j pghttp://augiedogie.smugmug.com/photos/151931524-L.j pg | ||

The Polly heaters can be used with the HVMP's (someone has done it and posted a thread about it a few months ago). I use the Polly Heaters with the Heat Troller, but am waiting for the bar ends to come with an anodized black option. Here is how I mounted my Heat Troller for my Polly Heaters and Warm-N-Safe jacket liner.  (Message edited by maximum on May 13, 2007) | ||

Maximum - a few people have powder coated the bar ends with good results. I imagine with the right prep they'd take paint pretty well too. | ||

Fill you bars with bird shot....best vibration reduction you can imagine. Make sure to run your wires first.  | ||

I have both and they work fine together. It takes a bit for the heat to get out to the pinky finger end, but it does. I had the polly's first and when I got the HVMP end I just pushed them in and locked them down so the polly's are up against them. The tuono mirros are just amazingly fabulous. |
